Snacking high on the food chain

For my special birthday surprise weekend away my friends took me to Slough, where we had a cup of coffee at the Costa in the Queensmere shopping centre! Then we had lunch! Then we went home!

"Come friendly bombs and fall on Slough..." except for Heston's bit. That's a fantastic-sounding lunch.

The weekend sounded a lot better when I realised that 'lunch' was a link. Wow.

"This menu is designed to be enjoyed by the whole table," they say. I'm sure it would be.

It sounds brilliant - what a lovely surprise to have arranged for you.

I'm glad you enjoyed it! As my granny used to say, the Lord was good to mix us, and at the mention of snail porridge I went quietly away to be ill... I think you're very adventurous.

[blinks] You're a braver woman than me! I've seen some degustations here I'd go to if Greg were more adventurous, but I couldn't handle most of that. Hmm, maybe the salmon, and the mango and fir puree. The hot and iced tea sounds interesting, but what's all this nitro? It sounds a bit worrying and slightly poisonous. And tell me, what's a Mrs Marshalls Margaret cornet? :-)

Good Lord...

Sounds good, though.

now that's what a taster menu should be like, amusing food you'd never have otherwise, sounds a treat

That certainly makes eating an adventure!

I'll be in Plymouth this year, so will be lucky to get a pasty at the Pcad canteen.
